hickok45 is famous - on the news for pumpkin shooting

[perry]

I saw a blurb of "a guy" shooting a pumpkin to carve it this morning on WTHR. I could tell it was hickok45, though they didn't identify him or show more than a few seconds of him shooting a smiley face on a pumpkin, with what looked like a .45.

I was just checking out msn.com and saw he was on the front page with the blurb "Pumpkin carved with a gun". They're calling it a viral video

Man carves pumpkin with gun in viral video

I'm sure someone will have a reason to say he did something wrong.

 

[eldirector]

Bahahaha! That was awesome!

The WTHR people sounded rather neutral about the idea... like it didn't make sense to carve a pumpkin with a gun. I thought it was pretty cool and shocking to see a youtube personality I'm familiar with on the local morning news.

Writer can't spell his name. Hickhock45. Really?

 

[Birds Away]

The writer also seemed to be surprised that there was a mirror image smiley on the other side of the pumpkin. Did he really think that it would only penetrate one side? Reading stuff like this is always equally hilarious and sad.

Wait until PETAP (People for the Ethical Treatment of All Pumpkins) hears about this!!!
Not to mention the squash and gourd huggers!!!​

Headline bothers me.
"From the "Don't try this at home" files."

Why not? They make sound like what he's doing is super uber dangerous and only a select few can do it. Fracin' idiots.

James Yeager: Pumpkins suck.

 

[jumbopanda]

Haha, love that guy.

I absolutely love his videos, watch them all of the time.

The kids are already well aware of how this years pumpkins are being disposed of once they're past their prime.

Interesting that this one went viral. He's been doing these for years. He has several videos just on pumpkins.

 

[cromus]

Has it really gone "viral" though. It hasn't even broken a quarter million views yet. I think people just like to use that word now.

Seems like anything broadcast over the internet these days is considered viral. I do enjoy his carving videos.

 

[pudly]

Yeah, that is just the newest video "Pumpkin Carving IV". He has over 1.7 million views of the set.

 

[CTS]

Heh, you can see the pumpkin from the above sitting in this video he just posted last night:

He's got a PAIR of MP40's.

I agree. Unless it has close to a million, or more, views in one week I wouldn't call it viral.

I really like his YouTube channel. I've learned a lot just by watching his vids. Pretty funny fella too.

Does anyone know where the Hickok45 compound is located? I think he mentions planes from Fort Campbell flying over, in at least one of his other videos (not the pumpkin ones). He obviously mentions Tennessee - but was just curious where in Tennessee.
